[Bug 66869] Re: Double click on Floppy Drive in Computer location jumps to / directory
I would like to comment that the bug is still in hardy, but the problem is it will not even open up the Floppy drive, as well as USB drives and MP3 Players as well. I need to manually mount them in order to make all these work.

[Bug 66869] Re: Double click on Floppy Drive in Computer location jumps to / directory
@Sebastien I found out this: 1) Double clicking on floppy icon in Computer, it opens a root directory (/) window and floppy is mounted. BUT 2) If I doesn't double click to floppy icon for the first, but instead I mount the floppy with Right click-mount, THEN when I double click to floppy it opens correctly. Seems to be that when you double click an unmounted floppy, it tries to open floppy directory BEFORE floppy is mounted. Or better, maybe mounting floppy is SLOWER than opening floppy directory. So when it tries to open floppy directory, floppy is not yet mounted so it points to root directory (/). Probably it just needs to wait opening directory until mounting is done. I need some hints about how nautilus handle devices.

Sebastien, I didn't intend to flame with my last comment, sorry if you think I did. I and all other people here just want to give a hand (reporting bugs etc..) to improve our prederred OS Ubuntu. The idea that came up in my mind reading all comments from the beginning was: Due to almost nobody use floppy nowadays we don't need to give attention to it, this bug maybe will be fixed in the future (it could be other 2 years or so). My comment was intended to be a a sort of paradox about that. With our comments we just would like to explain that sometimes the way we think the things goes is quite different compared to reality (as Ronaldo said) and that the scale for judging a bug (number of comments or duplicates) is not applicable in the same way to all bug.(my comment about newbies). -- Double click on Floppy Drive in Computer location jumps to / directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/66869 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

If it was true (I agree with you but it's not that the point) Ubuntu should DELETE support for it in the distribution, because floppy is useless.

Reporting bug is a good way to contribute, arguing on the settings is not really useful though, it rather makes developer speed time reading those comments and discussing something which is already confirmed being a bug while they could fix issues. Nobody argue this is not a bug or would not be really nice to get fixed, but we have some thousand desktop bugs and only a small number of people working on those between package updates and bug triage so we can't work on everything.

[Bug 66869] Re: Double click on Floppy Drive in Computer location jumps to / directory
Same issue adding floppy line on /etc/fstab Plus another strange behavior: system wan't shutdown when a floppy was mounted (and of course unmounted before invoking shutdown action from GDM or close session dialog). It seems that init can't close one process; this process seems costantly using the HD (the HD led on computer case stay on), locking the shutdown. This behavior occurs only if I mounted a floppy. I can't find any intersting info about this in /var/log... Here is a way to display the old text based shutdown info insted usplash? I'll try removing splash from /boot/grub/menu.lst or using the recovery mode in grub menu (by now I never used it) -- Double click on Floppy Drive in Computer location jumps to / directory https://launchpad.net/bugs/66869 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
